Managing Virtual Teams

Many supervisors are quite effective managing teams in their in-office environments, but what adjustments are they making to their management strategies with off-site employees and teams? While some strategies remain the same, some must change. Supervisors can’t use the same communication for some processes nor can some processes be accomplished in the same manner. The challenge, of course, is identifying necessary adjustments and impacts to the team.
